He's a brilliant, eccentric, sarcastic professor with little or no friends but a healthy obsession for solving mysteries. One day, a woman named Marie visits Lautrec bearing a curious gadget. The mysterious map that the gadget displayed seemed to point the way to a fantastic hidden treasure belonging to Louis XIV of the House of Bourbon, a dynasty that had collapsed a century earlier. As they search for the treasure, they find themselves targeted by a mysterious man named Vidocq. They are blocked at every turn by the Knights of the Iron Mask, a mysterious group of men with iron masks and claws. And then they must fight the Treasures Animatus. Work as Doctor Lautrec, aided by his perky and emotional sidekick Sophie, to unlock the mysteries within and search for the lost treasure of Louis XIV.

Konami's created some of gaming's greatest heroes: Solid Snake, Simon Belmont, the dude from Contra. Now the firm is ready to introduce its latest leading man, heading to 3DS in the summer. Dr Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights was revealed last year and immediately attracted attention due to its superficial similarity to Nintendo's popular Professor Layton series, but..

While I admit that the first impression points toward a Layton knock-off, it really turns out to be something else entirely.Where the Layton games entirely focus on puzzles thrown in just about everywhere, Lautrec actually has maps and a bit of action mixed into it. Another good call is that Lautrec is an Archeologist doing his job (unlike our top-hatted gentleman, whose paycheck contents are a puzzle in itself), so the plot focuses on such and almost gets an Indiana Jones feel every now and then.Lastly, the game has much quirkier characters and humour, as well as a distinctive art style much more reminiscient of the Puyo Puyo style.

So, saying that this is a Layton clone is like saying oranges are like lemons: similairities are there, but the flavor of both is absolutely different.
